in which he denounced Lincoln and those
who obeyed his orders as men who smote
the constitution TO the earth with "traitor

Putting White Men on the Black
List"
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: 1t will
be remembered that during the canvass of
1SS3-a canvass remarkable for its bitter
ness, which eliminated 10 the massacre OF
number of negro Republican voters In the
streets Of Danville-it will be remembered
that during that bitter and bloody canvass
the Bourbon "clubs" OF Dlnville made lists
of i'll colored men who took any active part
in behalf OF the Republican ticket, and after
that election no colored man whose name
was "on the listn could get any employ.
meme from any Of the Bourbons of Dan-
VILE. In consequence OF this boycott nearly
every one OF these colored men had to leave
the city to escape starvation.
1t was hoped that this kind of Bourbon
bulldoZing would be abandoned after
Cleveland's election, but it seems not. In
the Danville Register, of the Goth, is an arti-
Gle referring 70 the fact that many OF the
men who have been voting the Bourbon
ticket heretofore (but they did it under
compulsion), now propose to stay away
flom the polls at the approaching election
and not vote at oil. This, 1t seems, won't
do for the Bourbon leaders, whom this
ville.n 1t tells them that "the people OF
Danville will know on election day every
man who fails to vote. They've got lit.
tie list for such people, and they will put
them on 1t and keep them there"
AS law-abiding citizen | would like to
know if there is no law In this country to
prosecute and punish such attempts to in
timidate as this? Are white men of the
Anglo Saxon race to be bull-dozed and
bully-ragged by lot of Bourbon leaders
and Bourbon newspapers because they don't
choose to vote for such candidates as the
Bourbon rings have put up9 If SO this is
